141 | I would like to reply to Timothy Paul. | John 1:1 | Timothy Paul | 53457 | ||
Dear HR212,The point is the Father and Son are the same and always were. In John's gospel, the apostle lays down this great truth that Jesus Christ is one with God the Father. Jn 1:14 concurs with the verse in 1Tim and teaches us, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." And, Do the laws of Trinitarian doctrine make the Holy Spirit the Father? I would say Yes,we know that Joseph was not the father, and the Holy Spirit and the Father are one and the same. 1Cor.2:10,11 says,"but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." And also read Matt. 28:19,"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, are you in agreement with this, HolyRoller212? |

Dear Doc, consider the world of today, and as it was 100 years ago. 100 yrs ago, people depended on animals for transportation, as they did in biblical days. Now, look at the timespan between the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel, the stone age (Neolithic period), the Bronze age (3500-1000 B.C.) and the iron age (1000 B.C.). Now, look at the small distance between the transportation age and the computer age. There is no doubt in my mind that knowledge is increasing at a rapidly multiplying pace. Proverbs 2:6 tells us, "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding." What this tells me is that the speed in which we gain knowledge is controlled and has always been fore-ordained by God. It is doubtless to many that the prophesied end times have already begun, but our knowledge is sadly lacking as to how long they will last. Praise Him. Tim |

144 | Tell me ur view on modalistic monarchian | 2 Tim 2:15 | Timothy Paul | 53436 | ||
Dear Brother Roller, Our Great and Gracious LORD tells us in Leviticus 11:45,"I am the Lord who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy." This,(to me) includes accepting these "MMs" as a "lost person" who does not rightly interpret the Word of God. As a baby Christian myself, I would suggest you turn to 2Tim 2:15,(above)and find the truth in the scriptures. 2Tim 3:16,17 says a lot: All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,throughly furnished unto all good works. Now, the scriptures I refer to tell us that one God has existed from historical eternity in three persons, known as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is God: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (John 6:27) The Son is God: For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (2Pet 1:17) And the Spirit is God: God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. (Acts 2:32,33) this is what I think.Thank You for your interesting question. peace, Tim |

146 | how old was david when he killed goliath | 1 Sam 17:33 | Timothy Paul | 51695 | ||
Greetings, Here we find, in 1 Samuel Chapter 17, a firm case of the humble being exalted. he was but a youth, a shepherd, never in the wars,due to his young age, but he had done as much as the killing of Goliath called for, for he had spirit and strength enough to subdue a lion once and another time a bear that robbed him of his lambs, v. 34–36. His father was old,(vs 12), and he had three older brothers. I would gather him to be in his middle teens.This is as close as I can get to the age of David, I hope it helps. sincerely, Tim |

Hi Parable, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The first half mentions the north, and in 9:9 the south is mentioned, along with three constellations of stars in the heavens. God has made these wonders to be what they are, and made our curiosity to wonder at them, something that other beasts are incapable of. God's word continually places my heart in awe and wonder. Grace, Peace and Blessings, Tim |

149 | Most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 50960 | ||
Hi Justme. What a Fun question. I learned to read the Bible just two years ago, and what I used was a KJV, with a Good News Bible to help me through the tight spots. My Bible teacher told me at the time how to answer the question of which Bible is best. (The one you will read.) Now, I use several various translations at one time to do some serious study. Whenever I see a new translation, I turn to Heb. 1:3 and see what this version uses as a description of Jesus. The KJV says (in a comparison to God), Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, NIV says, The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, Then, the NLT says, The Son "reflects" God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. this I have a problem with, because this word 'reflect' to me compares Jesus to the Father as the moon is to the sun, where the moon does not shed any light of its own. I DO like the ASV which says, who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, (effulgence means great brilliance) I also like the NAB which uses refulgence (which means a shining radiance) Anyway, I feel I get more knowledge, and absorb it better, if I use several Bibles and compare the language as a thesaurus would do. In this way I have also raised my reading level from a high school level to a college level. Praise God for wisdom that can only come from above! see,James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy (NIV) Peace, Tim |

New Creature, Wonderful question! Thank you for letting me share my new Kenneth Copeland Reference Edition Bible with all of you. Bless God and God Bless! I will try to shorten the many pages into a few key references. First, Who has Real Bible Faith? Eph 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].(AMP) Gal 3:22-26, But the Scriptures [picture all mankind as sinners] shut up and imprisoned by sin, so that [the inheritance, blessing] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ (the Messiah) might be given (released, delivered, and committed) to [all] those who believe [who adhere to and trust in and rely on Him]. Now before the faith came, we were perpetually guarded under the Law, kept in custody in preparation for the faith that was destined to be revealed (unveiled, disclosed), So that the Law served [1] [to us Jews] as our trainer [our guardian, our guide to Christ, to lead us] until Christ [came], that we might be justified (declared righteous, put in right standing with God) by and through faith. But now that the faith has come, we are no longer under a trainer (the guardian of our childhood). For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. Second, The God kind of faith will work for Whosoever, (Mark 11:23) Third, There is Nothing wrong with your faith. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith,(Hebrews 12:2). Fourth, Faith will not work in an unforgiving heart. When you stand praying, Forgive (Mark 11:25-26). Fifth Faith works by Love (Gal 5:6). Love is the primary force that drives all faith. 1 Cor 13:1-3 is a picture of the failure of sense-knowledge Christianity. Faith is of the heart, not of the head. with the heart, man believes (Rom 10:8-10) 2 Cor 4:16 tells us the inward man has nothing to do with the mind or the body concerning believing. The senses control what the mind believes until the spirit man becomes dominant in a believers life. How can we walk in constant faith? 1Tim 6:12, Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses. Colossians 1:23 [And this He will do] provided that you continue to stay with and in the faith [in Christ], well-grounded and settled and steadfast, not shifting or moving away from the hope [which rests on and is inspired by] the glad tidings (the Gospel), which you heard and which has been preached [as being designed for and offered without restrictions] to every person under heaven, and of which [Gospel] I, Paul, became a minister. Now, some verses to look up, What does it mean to be a new creature? (2 Cor 5:17 ; 6:14). In God's eyes, (Col 1:21-23) In the world's eyes, (Phil 2:15) We have been reborn, (1Pet 1:5) We are kings and priests, (Rev 1:4-6 ; 1Pet 2:9) We are more than conquerers, (Rom 8:35) I hope this is a help, there is more for the asking. In the grip of His grace, Tim |

152 | Did ananias and sapphira go to heaven? | Acts 4:32 | Timothy Paul | 50940 | ||
Dear jewdiza2j, I am in agreement w/Steve, the only one who knows 4 sure is God. The same answer goes for who wrote Hebrews. The answer is that God, in His infinite wisdom gave us enough info to do what is required of us, and I believe it is best to stick to the basics.In order for us to move to the next level in our spiritual life there comes a time when we must be totally honest with God.It is interesting to see that Jesus, who usually treated sinners with such gentleness, who sat and ate with tax collectors, who forgave sins, always got angry with one sin in particular. That was the sin of Hypocrisy. He called the Pharisees, "white-washed tombs" Looking white and clean on the outside, but inside full of corruption and dead bones. Peace and Grace back atcha, jewd. with Love from above, Tim |

153 | Who wrote the book of Acts? | Acts | Timothy Paul | 50933 | ||
Dear LBU According to the Ryrie Study Bible, Luke wrote Acts. C.C. Ryrie tells us,"That the author of Acts was a companion of Paul is clear from the passages in the book in which 'we' and 'us' are used (16:10-17;20:5-21:18;27:1-28:16). These sections themselves eliminate known companions of Paul other than Luke, and Col. 4:14 and Philemon 24 point affirmatively to Luke, who was a physician. With Karis, Tim |

154 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Matt 28:8 | Timothy Paul | 50079 | ||
sufficient grace, whenever I am confronted w/the question of whether women should be allowed to preach, I refer to the 28th chapter of Matthew. Let's look at the first 8 verses: 1 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. 3 His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. 6 He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. So you see, the first 'missionaries' to preach that Christ has risen from the dead were women. Since God is no respecter of persons, why would anyone object to a woman spreading the Good News, and who are we to judge a servant of God? |

155 | Law and Christ vs Law or Christ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 50067 | ||
Yes, I agree w/you, Searcher. I would like to add a coment from Matthew Henry on Gal.5:2-4 "That their submitting to circumcision, and depending on the works of the law for righteousness, were an implicit contradiction of their faith as Christians and a forfeiture of all their advantages by Jesus Christ" However there are still requirements of law that still are demanded of us by God today, please see my third posting below Faithfully, Tim |

156 | Law or grace or both? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 50066 | ||
In addition, Christ said in Mat.5:17,Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.(ASV) God's laws were a gift to us to help us love and obey Him. By Jesus' time, religious leaders had complicated the law into a lot of useless rules. Now, does the OT law still apply to us today? Let us look at the three categories of OT Law: 1.) Ceremonial; This related specifically to Israel's worship practices (Lev.1:2-3). The purpose here was to point forward to Jesus Christ. Jesus was often accused of violating ceremonial law by the Phatisees. After His death and resurrection, these laws were unnecessary, but the principles behind them -To worship and love a holy God -still apply. 2.) Civil Law; This applied to daily life in Israel (see Deut.24:10-11). Because modern culture is so different from that setting, it is hard to try and follow these laws specifically. But the principles behind these laws will never become outdated and should guide our conduct. Jesus taught these laws by example. 3.)Moral Law; This is the Ten Commandments (Exod.20:13) and are direct commands from God. These laws require strict obedience and still apply today. Jesus obeyed the Moral Law without fail. Jesus showed the Pharisees that obeying the Moral Law was more important than explaining it, yet man's way is usually the other way around. Thank you for welcoming these comments, I hope to here from you again soon (o: Praise Him!! Faithfully, Tim |

157 | Law or grace or both? | Bible general Archive 1 | Timothy Paul | 50059 | ||
Yes, Too Too Smart, Your point is well taken and the bk. of Gal. is backs you up. see Gal.3:10.(AMP) "And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them." The scripture that Paul refers to here is: (Deut. 27:26 AMP),"Cursed is he who does not support and give assent to the words of this law to do them [as the rule of his life]. All the people shall say, Amen." Now, we must look at the context of Paul's letter. After Paul ministered to the infant Church in Galatia, false teachers came around telling new converts that they were not true Christians unless they lived under the Law of Moses. They claimed obedience to the law was as important as God's grace and a necessary condition of salvation. Paul saw the error in their teaching and wrote the epistle that warns them of the danger of trying to mix law and grace. |

I wish to thank you wholeheartedly for your response to my last note on this provoking field of interest. I am in agreement with you, while still adhering to my stance. My point was, "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." (NASB). So, how is one able to live in obedience to our Lord without obedience to the law? Since, I have begun an exciting excursion into the bk. of Gal. through (Back to the Bible.com)and cannot express my stimulation of awe and wonder of St. Paul. Paul, in consideration of his attempts at salvation (in his former way) by following the law saw it as a shadow (works) before the subject (Christ). By considering the law itself, he saw that justification was unobtainable through it, and that there was now no further need of the sacrifices and purifications of it, since they were done away in Christ, and therefore, the more he looked into the law, the more he saw the uselessness of obeying it for the purpose of salvation. But, though he was dead to the law, he did not look upon himself as without responsibility towards the law. He had renounced all hopes of justification by the works of it, and was unwilling any longer to continue under the bondage of it. But he was far from thinking himself released from his duty towards God; on the contrary, he was dead to the law, that he might live unto God. The teaching of the gospel, therefore, instead of weakening the duty placed upon him, strengthened and further confirmed it; and therefore, though he was dead to the law, it was only so he would be able to live a new and better life towards God, and that this new life would be more agreeable and acceptable to God than his observance of the Mosaic law could ever be. Thank you for your time and contemplation. For this idea, I was looking at Gal 2:20,21 and related some commentary of Matthew Henry's. "...For if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." |
